UT Advocates Podcast: Poor State of (Civic) Affairs

A new study finds shockingly low rates of civic participation in Texas. We talk with the Strauss Institute’s Regina Lawrence about the findings and what they mean for the Lone Star State—and UT.

Regina Lawrence is a professor at the UT School of Journalism and director of the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life. You can read more about the Texas Civic Health Index here.
